Couldn't recommend Patrick enough, very helpful and went out of his way to ensure the job was done as quickly as possible. Even dropped the car back to my house which was great. I needed a new clutch and flywheel (£1250) for a Lexus IS250. Was quoted just under £2k by a Lexus Dealership.

Dan, Lexus Is

I would rate at 5. Done what they said they would in the time given. Car feels like new. They go over and beyond repairs. Picking your car up and returning to you. Would definitely use again and would recommend to all including my own family! A clutch and fly wheel cost me £800. Was quoted £998 for clutch and if I had fly wheel changed £1423 by the local dealership. I have a mini. Need I say more! Happy customer for sure

Paul was absolutely fantastic, I am not exaggerating, he was brilliant. I cannot recommend him, Automotive Components highly enough. There were no hidden extras with the price quoted, and his advice was welcome and refreshing! Ive told all my family, friends and colleagues about him and his service, I hope that he doesn't get too busy though as he is now my dedicated mechanic!

Patric is a great man he knows what he is doing plus he good at his word

Truly I can say enough about the service. The honesty and speed of service was outstanding. They did the job well within time and were polite and pleasant to speak to. Highly recommended.

from start to finish these guys were first class, they completed my ford fusion timing belt ,water pump and drive belt on time and on budget, these guys have done a perfect job and were polite and courteous, they showed me the old parts too which is reassuring as a customer, i will recommend to all my friends and family from now, thanks Anees Autocare Centre you have reinstalled my faith in mechanics again :)

fakar, Ford Fusion

Did a major service for my Passat 3 weeks back & it has been running smooth (Motorway miles). Will definitely do my service here again. My only minor concern was the "cash only" payment. Would be good if there was card payment.

Tony, Volkswagen Passat

Hard to say as this is the first time I have used him. I drove the car back to Northolt so only time will tell...However he did offer a 2 year warranty on the work, which I don't believe many other garages will offer so I put my faith in Anees being true to his word. He definitely saved me a few bob as the Renault dealer want £1000 for the same job....
so we shall see....but I have faith....

Habib, Renault Megane

So far, so good! Anees was honest and upfront about costs and was easy to find.
Would give 5 stars if he was able to pick and deliver car and provide credit card payment options

Lee replaced my clutch on my Peugeot 1007 to a very high standard and he was very informative and efficient and I would highly recommend him.

Megan , Peugeot 1007

I found it to be a bit pricey, considering that my description of requirement , acquired me quotes from others which was for a gear box refurbishment and if Clutch required changing whilst they would need to remove the gear set, they could do that. However in this case the requirement seems to have been misunderstood; hence quotation was for clutch change only and lubricating gear box; indicatkng that my requirement would have been addresses by the rellacement of the clutch only. It turned out on the first diagnosis that the gear box would need refurbished, which caused be another £350 over the quoted price, plus the vehicle had to be kept in a public cara park overnight.. but the way the wotk was done was Good.

A Majeed, Honda Jazz

Excellent service all round and a good price. They identified other problems with my car which they fixed. Very friendly and would highly recommend.

Sergio, Fiat Bravo

I didn't use the service in the end as the car has been scrapped but great response time and estimate

Garage provided a competitive and speedy quote for the work I required. They ordered a new air con condenser unit and fitted it the same day the unit was delivered to the garage. Air Con now works brilliantly. Ivy was very friendly and helpful and she answered all my questions. Garage is located behind a parade of shops with 2 separate entrance/exits that are clearly signed from the street. Having always used the VW main dealer for maintenance and servicing work I was nervous about using another garage but I need not have worried. I would highly recommend this garage and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Philip, Volkswagen Golf

I normally do most maintenance on my car myself but changing the timing belt is beyond my DIY skills so I am grateful to Galaxy Auto Centre for providing a professional job, performed on time and on budget. I was happy with the selection of parts (OEM quality) and the service represented good value for money. Many thanks.

Jon, Mitsubishi Outlander

excellent service

dave, SAAB 9-3

Very nice service.Very helpful .I will definitely visit them again!

09.09.17

Anna, Hyundai I10

Very nice experience.
This was the only garage that actually supplied me with clear quotes, answers to my requests and all continued communications...and carried out the work on time as agreed. All thanks to Ivy, she is a true Wonder Woman!
Her team were very polite too and returned the car clean. Pricing was excellent too, to the point I thought they were going to add more VAT - not the case; thus I had a little more work, that was bugging me, completed on the same booked visit.
I can keep going on about how nice the whole experience was but it's my garage now, go elsewhere!
Only downside (nowhere is perfect), is the slight tight entrance (not that bad really), but they will kindly drive if you wish and I'm not sure the customer care will be up to Ivy's standards when she's on holiday.

I'm not one who would usually leave a review but I was very impressed with the service from All4wheels. They collected my car, kept me well informed all the way through the job and returned my car as agreed. I felt they went out of their way to make sure that I was satisfied with the work done.

David, Audi A4

Really impressed with All 4 Wheels. Received the initial quote within a few minutes of posting the request and past 11pm at night!! Price for having all discs and pads replaced were over £130.00 cheaper than the MOT station and high street autorepair center. Car was picked up repaired and returned the same day and within a couple of days from the quote. All in all a pleasurable experience for a change from a very reliable garage and no doubt will receive the family servicing needs from now on. My thanks to all at All 4 Wheels.

Mark, Mazda 6

Reliable, great price, would use again

Kaylee, Peugeot 207

Thank you easy to deal with great job.

Jon, Volkswagen Touran

Excellent service .. They quoted me for all 4 disks and pads which was cheaper than the other garages, plus a new caliper, front suspension bush,mot which I think were both reasonably priced, We're happy with the service and will be recommending to our Friends.

Customer service was excellent, they diagnose and repair my car on the same day. Fast and quality service. 5*

27.08.17

David, Toyota Prius

Yes (would recommend them), based on this initial experience, I would recommend Gavin, Ross Motors. Really good customer service, feedback and clear explanation on what was really done and the added service/tasks he performed at no extra cost. He said, due to the nature of the fault (electronic), we would need to give a week to see if the issue re-occurred and then follow it up. Very happy with the service and attitude.

02.09.17

Gordon, Nissan Qashqai

Very efficient and hassle free- had a full service and MOT done for the first time with them and will definitely going again next time around! Highly recommend it!

06.09.17

Sadia, Audi Tt

Once again quick and friendly service. Interim pre-MOT service for £99 and replaced a bulb for cost price. Spotted some advisory issues that I'll be putting in for repair post MOT.

09.09.17

Tristan, Skoda Fabia

Garages are like barbers, when you find one you stick with them forever :)
Went there for first time to do a full service on my bmw 1 series. The staff were very friendly and professional, they also done an engine flushing which made a huge difference on my car's performance. I will recommend the garage to my friends.

What is a Diesel Particulate Filter?

Diesel Particulate Filters are extremely important to have in your vehicle. The filter captures and stores exhaust soot in order to help reduce emissions coming from diesel cars.
Ever since 2009, the Euro 5 standard has been enforced, a rule which ensures all new diesel cars must have particulate filters fitted.
These pieces of equipment were introduced in an effort to reduce the particle and soot emissions from diesel engines. Diesel Particulate filters (DPF) trap soot before it blows out of an exhaust and like any filter, it requires cleaning in order to maintain performance.
Fortunately the filter itself has self-cleaning capabilities known as regeneration.
There are two types of regeneration which can be carried out on your car.
Passive Regeneration
This process happens automatically while the exhaust is at a high temperature which will usually occur when you are driving down a motorway or quickly down an A-road. However, as many vehicles aren’t always being driven at high speeds, an alternative system for regeneration exists.
Active Regeneration
This method of cleaning the DFP is controlled by an engine management computer and happens automatically when the filter reaches 45% of its limit. The process is initiated by the fuel injection being increased which makes the exhaust heat up and therefore clear the filter. However, if your drive is a short one and the process tries to initiate, it will not be able to properly clear the filter, in this eventuality, the warning light in your car will come on.
A drive of about ten minutes at a speed of around 40mph should be adequate for the process to be successful.

Signs that your Diesel Particulate Filter needs cleaning

A warning light may appear

A slight increase in fuel consumption

Increased idle speed

Deactivation of automatic stop/start

A hot and strong smell emitting from the exhaust

The note of the engine changing

If these issues are effecting your car it is almost certain that you will need your filter replacing which is likely to cost upwards of £1000 including diagnostic and labour time.
And if you were thinking of saving all of that time and money by removing the filter completely, think again, it’s illegal to remove the DPF.
The Department for Transport states that it is an offence to remove the filter or modify the piece of equipment in a way which would result in the vehicle failing air pollutant emission standards. Breaking the law will result in the vehicle not being road worthy so if you are ever offered to have your filter removed, make sure to keep this in mind.
Every MOT now includes a check for the DPF and a smoke test from the exhaust so there is very little chance of getting away with removing the filter.
If you need to have the filter regenerated manually, you must take your vehicle to a trained professional immediately. They will initiate a process where the exhaust is heated up to a point where regeneration happens and soot is cleared from the filter.
